Beautiful recipe and photo! What’s the name of this dish in Arabic but with English letters ? I can’t read it only speak it , and If you don’t have that many good ripe tomatoes would you supplement with tomato paste and water .

Thanks Mariam! This dish called ( Allaiet bandoora b lahmeh) . No you can’t substitute . It has to have a body to it. There is a nother dish called ( damage) it means the tear than you form the ground beef in canon shape, sauté them a little and then cook them in tomato sauce. Really easy and delicious too.
